MONDAY, JUNE 4, 1810. The following Bulletin was issued this morning resvaing his Royal Highness . the Duke of CUM . BERLAND " His Royal Highness the Luke of CUMBILRLAND has had a bet!er ni, than any of the preceding, and is quite free from feverish indisposition this morning. '' Eight o'Clock. " EVEAARD HOME." We have received Paris and Dutch Papers, the former to the 30th ult. and the latter to the 2d inst. We are glad to find that the accounts which reach ed ns some time ago of the French having entered Carilngena, is unfounded. The details of the opera tions of the armies in Spain are not very interesting, excyCt as they tend to chew that the firmer accounts of their successes were very much exaggerated., I n ' Holland the, French have carried their tyranny and oppression to such an extent, that even the ,pa tient Dutchmen haVe been - roused in.o insurrection. The inhabitants Of Rotterdam rose on the French GaHson, on the 23d and several lives were lost on' the occasion. . A Freach liocrof battle ship and a frigate are said to have got into Brest, but from what Port we have not beard. There are: now in Brest three sail of th e line and font - frigates ready 1 4 ; sea. A GaiOnt4rg,.4 Mail and some German 'Papers qtriv,':fl 01i4 tnosniog : the latter are, of an old date, contain pO pews: The only article-of any im 7 r,rirt,:ino.o in the foraley is ore fann Gott( nburgh, vihich oato that con; berable alarm hai be 'excited there by a notice from ifte tom , tnandcr, that he would nut suffer any vessel to enrer a Swedish port, that came from a port that was not open to BritiA vessels. Since writing the above, we have rece.ived some more German Papers to the 23d ult. They contain the f,Alowing singular article : I " BANKS OF THE MAINE, MAY 15.—The Cou. rier Illyrico formally contradicts all the reriorts of hostile attacks on die frontiers of Bosnia ; incursions of the Turks into the Illyrian prOvinees ; murder of the sick in - the hospitals ; the taking prisoners of 300 French, of whom some were stabbed and some be headed; the march, in consequence, of Marshal MAED4ONT into Bosnia ; the storming of the fort of Sisbeg; the massacre of all the Tutks, &c. In all this, 'according to the above Paper, theTe is not a word of truth ; it has no foUndation but in the plun derings and affrays of some hordes of robbers in those parts."-,-(Correspondent, May 22.) - .Yesterday the apartments of the Duke of CUM BERLANDwere opened to the public, and were vi sited by a great number of persons of distin6tion. Every thing in the apartments remained precisely in the slate in which they were left when the Doke was removed on Thursday. The bed, the floor, and a considerable part of the wall are nearly covered with blood; and the Duke's shirt is completely dyed With it. The padded - fillet which 'he wore round his head was completely•cut through. Upon exatnin ing the situation of the bed, it appears most sur prising that his Royal Highness should have escaped, for it is placed in a xecess, and is only accessible on one side; the Duke; therefore, in getting out of bed, was obliged to come in conta& with the assas sin. It appears that SELLIS. muit have made a most violent thrust with the sabre at dig Duke as he Was attempting to e•cape, for part of the frame of the door is cut away; but it seems rather to have been done by a lunge than by a blow, as tic pehit of the sabre is bent., Mr. NEALL attended during the whole of yesterday,. for th 6 purpose of giving every explanation in his power. The thanks of the Duke of CUMBERLAND were. returned yesterday at St. James's Church, at both Morning and Afternoon Service, for his providential escape. We "this morning received the followini; Letter from Bermuda, dated April 7 : " Mr. GEORGE MUSOUT • DYNE, Purser of -his Majt. , sty's ship Tuurtereile, * has been -dismissed his Td , :tcsty's servict, by the sentence.of a Court Mar tiai, on charges orgen - eratanc i ;lect ,of duty, exhibited against "Mtn by Vick:-Admiral Sir Tour; 808 LASF, WARREN, Bart. ancl .

IPINDI,I3L We are deeply concerned at the necessity of forming our Readers that this Gentleman expired ti,L morning. The melancholy et ent took, place at ex" a&ly 25 minutes after It. He bore his - illness throughout with that fortitude which might be ex peeled from the manliness of his charaaer, and to the last moment, when -he was colleCted enough or suf . ‘ ficiently free .from pain, to &liver his sentiments?. his feelings were strongly dire&ed, 'like those of gr' PITT, to the welfare of his country. During the latter part of Mr. WINDHAM'S life we had the misfortune of not agreeing with his political opinions; but of the purity and sincerity of then:o . - t ies by which he was .aiinated, no man who had the slightest knowledge Of his character could Fos' sibly entertain a doubt. His knoWledge of the Con" stitution was profound, and he was alwaysamong the foremost of its defeAdeysegainst the cpen or sidious attacks of its enemies. I\ir. WiNnnAm was a sound scholar ; like 51r ' BUR HE, his reading was, deep and Miscellanecio' Like Mr. BURI(2, too, he was often inclined 10 draw his illustrations from objeets, perhaps, of to;, coarse and familiar a nature for the dignity of r Senate,. and the attention-of the Empire. Rot hts eloquence .was rich, powerful, impressive, and conclusive, though - perhaps it was at ',.rnes tac subtle and refined. In private life he was a. truly honourable and manly charact , :..r, and he possesse d t alents and acquirements that ,qualified him c° make a distinguished figure at any period' history ha's 'recorded.' He _was mairied about teen years ago to Miss Fottansrct, of Binfiel(l,. s lady of small fortune, but of a most amiable cha' racter, and with a mind congenial in kriowledge an d attainments with his own, " Nothing could be more happy and harmonious than his domestic life and, therefore, it may naturally be conceived' that the loss of such a man must be deeply atie6ting• That. he is a great lois to ihe Country evt.ry holt • , must acknowledge who know • Low co estinTite real public virtue, high 'talents, various and extensikr ° knowledge, and unimpeachable integrity. Mr. WINDHAM, we_ are assured, bad a Strong presentiment that his death would happen on • vary day. He declared this opinion, itomediale l Y after the operation was performed, and repeated again yesterday, observing to his medical attendant s , that that was the last time he' shoo d trouble thealt 33 he should certainly die the next day.
